The "higher end" cards are running 4 to 5 or even 600 worms on Ebay! That is cost-leee.

I will swear by EVGA's customer service. I have never had any issues RMAing a card through them, and the last time I did they sent me an upgraded card.

I went for the PNY ... Thanks Azi !


Didn't want to wait any longer ... and the price performance is sufficient.

In a year it will be my sons card anyway and I'll get whatever is the next $100-$160 performance card.

Good luck with the PNY card. I've heard a lot of people complain about shoddy products from them. I myself have only owned a PNY flash drive and I would never buy one again, it would never work the same each day and started falling apart (thank god it got stolen). Let us know how it goes for you...

i've had some PNY AGP cards that still work, so its really what you think. Besides with Amazon, you're in good hands incase anything happens.
